Formation
Following the victory of the Iranian revolution in 1979, the security situation in Iranian Kurdistan had significantly deteriorated. Some Sunni leaders — such as Sheikh Mohammad Osman Serajeddin Naqshbandi, the Iraqi-born leader of the Rizgari Corps militant group, who had issued a ruling on the permissibility of fighting Iranian government forces — began to call for opposition to the revolutionary authorities on sectarian grounds. Many locals with pro-revolution views were being harassed by militant groups such as Komala and KDPI. Following this, many pro-revolution local Sunni Kurdish leaders migrated to Kermanshah, where they met with Mohammad Boroujerdi to organize the Kurdish Muslim Peshmerga under his leadership.

Aftermath
From 1982 onward, with the defeat of a large portion of the rebel groups in Kurdistan province, the organization began to be integrated into the Basij forces.

Today, they are remembered in Kurdistan with the commemoration of Sacred Defense Week every year. A large monument has been built in honor of the group's fighters in the city of Sanandaj.

Militant groups continued to target former members of the group with assassination attempts in the decades following the end of the war. On 5 June 2004, Jalal Baarnameh, the retired former leader of the Marivan branch of the Kurdish Muslim Peshmerga, was ambushed and killed.
